Combinado del Pacifico

Another ambitious intercontinental tour from the 1930s saw a squad made up from 3 leading Peruvian clubs, supplemented by 3 players from Colo-Colo in Chile, travel to Europe. Colo Colo had toured Europe in 1927, tragically losing David Arellano.The 1933 tourists, generally known as Combinado del Pacifico , played 40 matches across 12 countries. Their fortunes were very mixed.
